That, and a class on driving within the Villages explaining the gates, golf cart parking, roundabouts, etc including a paper map. Of TV with gates notated would be grand. I apologize to those I endangered/annoyed…

Welcome to The Villages, where traffic control devices are designed with the idea that you should just memorize what you are supposed to do, (after all, "we all know they are there"), and with less than optimal visibility in order to cull the weak-visioned from our ranks.

You are going to love it here!
